In short: Thank you Manchester thank you AltrinchamIn full: Fantastic took 16 minutes off my pb.The atmosphere was great.Flat race great iconic buildings.Water and gels frequent.If you want a marathon do this.Really enjoyed it.Date of review: April 24, 2014

In short: Excellent organisationIn full: Lovely friendly club.Really looked after families.Superb childrens race.Lovely pudsey park.The race is always tough two very steep climbs...many people walked these...I managed to keep going.Marshalling really encouraging.A tough tough race but probably the best 10k in Yorkshire.The goody bag was nice and there was boxes of socks,hats,water bottles all free from the sponsors Puma.Loads of drinks at the end plus fruit.A really valuable race and Pudsey should be really proud of themselves.Thank you for an enjoyable morning.Date of review: July 24, 2012

In short: Not the greatest Half I have doneIn full: Felt dissapointed..expected more...Why you may ask?Abrupt to leave the HQ when you have collected your number..why?plenty of room...bag pipes blowing your mind..good intention I suppose.water stations un manned nearly had my head shaken at mile 9 with some tall bloke taking the water.Goody bag pathetic.Handed out with no thanks well done...but it round our heads weve jsut ran 13.1 miles...socks ha ha ha 3 pairs for a pound...wont do this race again...boring flat wall to your left sea to your right...Date of review: February 27, 2012

In short: Thank you RRRIn full: This was my 6th LHM and i got my course best in 1 hr 40.knocking 6 mins off my previous best.Sunday was special I ran my best race ever.The marshalls were superb the locals brilliant and the sweets at the mad mile were great.Tee shirt the best one yet at a LHM.Not one moan about today..still sore but really worth it.See you next year.Date of review: February 14, 2012

In short: A bit dissapointed.In full: Was really forward to this my 6th marathon.A found the course boring..too manty hedges and nothing to look at for most of the race.The marshalling was excellent,drinks stations and the young marshalls were graet.Support was superb when it appeared far too rural for me..you ran for ages without a sole in site,but when you did see the locals they were very supportive.Didn't enjoy the queue after to ahve your photo taken with the medal give runners a choive I just wanted to get to my family and not queue like in a supermarket.Well done to the organisors.I wont be running this again but I dont want to put anyone off.Give it a go and 2012 and make your own mind up.Date of review: October 10, 2011

In short: Got my pb at 1hr 33In full: Dissapoinred in some parts.Too packed at the start with daft runners scalling barriers far too cramped.Support fairly sparse at times.No isotonic drinks just water very dissapointed what withthe price of 29 pounds.Run along the mersey was the best part.Won't be back for a few years Leeds half a lot better race the crowds at Leeds are amazing.Car parking rip off £5 to park near the start.I paid £8 plus in the city centre as advised.Why not £2 runners throughout city.Just felt conned.Date of review: April 5, 2011

In short: Thank you again RRRIn full: fifth time in a row ive done this one...well it would be rude not too as I live in Spen!Brilliant announcer so welcoming...great changing facilities and the collection of numbers was superb well done to RRR.The race well started off great but the wind took its toll up Windybank and hartshead missed my course pb by 1 min and felt flat at the end,felt physically sick at the end due to a massive cold which has dogged me for a fortnight.But hey thanks roberttown you are really nice folk and I will be back again in 2012.Like the tee shirt reminds me off a somesort of guest beer..hope to be at the real ale festival in the summer and deffo for the roberttown 7.Thanks again team at RRR. 10/10.Date of review: February 17, 2011
